the development of high speed lapping processes and equipment

Several studies were completed in the area of High Speed Lapping for Ceramic Parts. Studies and developed equipment included: Water cooled table designs. Various types of media, including Aluminum Oxide and Micro-Diamond. Effective Media distribution systems. Economic Truing Ring designs. And equipment assisted loading of parts. The end results was to lower the production time per cycle from 20 to approximately 2 minutes.
